About Rivi

We build AI-first products across travel and beyond. We’re hiring a full-time paid backend intern (at least 3 to 6 months) to ship APIs, microservices, and integrations that hit production.

What you’ll do

• Design Node.js/TS microservices that call LLM/RAG services and external travel APIs.
• Implement REST/gRPC endpoints with auth, rate-limiting, and caching; write clean, testable code.
• Integrate Postgres, Redis, and vector stores; optimize queries, indexes, and job queues.
• Wire async workflows (events, workers) for search, booking, and AI features; monitor with logs/metrics.
• Debug perf issues, tighten SLOs, and ship backend upgrades from design through deploy.

What we're looking for

• Pursuing / recently finished CS or related field.
• Solid Node.js/JS; some Python helps. Strong CS fundamentals.
• Basic web/API concepts and how backends serve web/mobile clients.
• SQL familiarity; caching/cloud/Docker is a plus.
• Comfortable with SRE processes—monitoring, incidents, postmortems.
• Fast learner, execution-focused, high ownership.

Why join Rivi

• Shape next-gen AI interfaces at scale.
